Introduction

• BMX is a advanced bike racing sport. BMX bikes
  are lighter than normal bikes. They also have
  bigger wheels. There are three different types of
  BMX bikes. The original bike, the freestyle bike,
  and the dirt jumper. (some people just call it
  the jump bike.)

History

• BMX originated in the U.S.A. It began when kids
  imitated motorcross riders on their bikes. The
  man who actually invented The BMX was Sigfried
  Bettman of Coventry, England. Well he didn't
  really invent the bike. People just made it so
  that their bikes could be able to ride on the
  dirt and also jump.

Gear

• After you have a bike ( or before get it) you
  should get some gear. You will have to get a
  racing helmet, a pair of gloves, pads, a long
  sleeved shirt and pants, and you will need biking
  shoes. Do NOT wear shorts or a T-shirt, in case
  you fall. You'll be sorry if you wear a T-shirt
  and fall of your bike.

5
Races

• Its time to race. A race has up to 8 riders. But
  the first one to cross the finish line is the
  winner, of course. To enter a race you must sign
  up to be in the race. If you dont sign up youre
  not in the race. Too bad.

The track

• Before you start a race you should always look at
  the track. If you have not done this dont do
  anything else. A track is usually 1350 ft long.
  Its a lot shorter than you think. (tip if you
  ever are in a race try to cut people off on turns
  to get in front of them)

Conclusion

• If you dont think that you would enjoy BMX you
  dont have to try it. But if your interested find
  a club. Or you dont even have to join a club.
  You could even make a BMX club of your own! But
  above all, enjoy BMX biking.
